[ACO] PF2e 04-01 Intro: Year of Boundless Wonder (P8) (Inactive)

Game Master UncleFroggy

Biglock shouts, "It's too late! She's here! This is bad!" The shard, hovering near the amassed treasures, twists and warps, taking on the familiar form of Aslynn and her cauldron. "Your plan to kill me? So brave, so bold. And yet, it matters not. Behold!" She plunges an oozing claw into the pile and brandishes a jeweled chalice. "Boundless wonder called to me. And I respond with nightmares three! Three children of my last thirteen shall join me in an endless dream. A realm where you shall vex me not—a realm where you shall be forgot! Destroy me here, but at what cost? You fight in vain, for all is lost!" Cackling with glee, Aslynn watches as the chalice brims with swirling magical liquid. She inhales deeply, then empties the chalice into her cauldron. A fuming creature boils forth, and Aslynn commands, "Kill the Pathfinders! And should they survive, let this be the first of their boundless nightmares!"

The smelly, twisted creatures emerging from her cauldron vaguely resemble large skunks.

At the sight of Aslynn, the skull pulsates and Zykyryz proclaims "There we go! Thanks for using your head!!" Eltis immediately feels more heroic!

"Thank you all powerful wizard!"

Eltis moves past the big stinky skunk like being. As he moves and when he gets into place you see motes of bright energy coalescing into his hands. He finally releases it with a visible effort and a line of bight energy bolts and beams shine forth and hit both Biggy McSkunkus and Aslynn.

1 action stride. Note he DOES have to pas by 1 square 10' from the skunk if it has reach and AOO. 2 action cast Inner radiance torrent.
Note: You gradually manifest your spiritual energy into your cupped hands before firing off a storm of bolts and beams that deal 4d4 force damage to all creatures in a 60-foot line. Creatures in the area must attempt a basic Reflex save. On a critical failure, they're also blinded for 1 round. The number of actions you spend when Casting this Spell determines the area. If the line passes through an area of magical darkness or targets a creature affected by magical darkness, inner radiance torrent attempts to counteract the darkness.
[two-actions] (somatic, verbal) The line is 60 feet long.
[three-actions] (material, somatic, verbal) The line is 120 feet long.
Two Rounds The line is 120 feet long. If you spend 3 actions casting the spell, you can avoid finishing the spell and spend another 3 actions on your next turn to empower the spell even further. If you choose to do so, the damage dealt by this spell increases by 4d4, and you enter a shining state for 1 minute, causing you to glow with light and deal 1 force damage to creatures that end their turn adjacent to you.

force damage: 4d4 ⇒ (3, 2, 1, 4) = 10
DC 16 Refl save, if crit fail blinded 1 turn.

Eltis shoots a 60' line of force at Aslynn and the skunk. Aslynn manages to avoid the worst of the damage but the skunk isn't so lucky.

Since the last potion isn't claimed, I hope it's okay if Brocc claims it, they're pretty banged up.

Brocc pulls out the final potion and chugs it, then strides closer to the action.

♦ Draw potion of healing.
♦ Drink Potion: 2d8 + 5 ⇒ (7, 4) + 5 = 16

Nyx checks the 2nd table to see if there's anything that he can find.

"You again?!" Ahas summons his mind weapon and sends a mental jolt at Aslynn.

◆ Interact to draw mind weapon
◆◆ Cast a Spell, Daze, DC 18 basic Will save vs 4 mental damage

Ahas sends a mental jolt at Aslynn. Aslynn is so surprised by the sudden attack that the momentarily blacks out before regaining her wits. She screeches in anger, lashing out at Nyx with her claws.

As Aslynn's claws penetrate Nyx's arm, he suddenly sees images of a giant Yumyum holding him and eating him as an 'elf steak'.

The skunk at Aslynn's side joins the fray and attempts to bite Nyx.

Jaws vs Nyx AC 19: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (4) + 8 = 12

It then turns around, lifts its tail and sprays him with an evil smelling musk.

Ahas determines if he can exploit some weakness from the Big Blue Rat. Or is that a skunk?

Esoteric Lore to Exploit Vulnerability vs standard DC of Blue: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (5) + 8 = 13
Critical Sucess: Ahas learn all of the creature's resistances, weaknesses, and immunities, including the amounts of the resistances and weaknesses and any unusual weaknesses or vulnerabilities, such as what spells will pass through a golem's antimagic. He can exploit either the creature's mortal weakness or personal antithesis. His unarmed and weapon Strikes against the creature also become magical if they weren't already.
Success Ahas learns its highest weakness (or one of its highest weaknesses, if it has multiple with the same value) but not its other weaknesses, resistances, or immunities. He can exploit either the creature's mortal weakness or personal antithesis. His unarmed and weapon Strikes against the creature also become magical if they weren't already.
Failure He instead attempt to exploit a more personal vulnerability. He can exploit only the creature's personal antithesis. His unarmed and weapon Strikes against the creature also become magical if they weren't already.
Critical Failure Ahas becomes flat-footed until the beginning of your next turn.

He moves and strikes Blue with his mind weapon.

Critical Sucess: Ahas learn all of the creature's resistances, weaknesses, and immunities, including the amounts of the resistances and weaknesses and any unusual weaknesses or vulnerabilities, such as what spells will pass through a golem's antimagic. He can exploit either the creature's mortal weakness or personal antithesis. His unarmed and weapon Strikes against the creature also become magical if they weren't already.
Success Ahas learns its highest weakness (or one of its highest weaknesses, if it has multiple with the same value) but not its other weaknesses, resistances, or immunities. He can exploit either the creature's mortal weakness or personal antithesis. His unarmed and weapon Strikes against the creature also become magical if they weren't already.
Failure He instead attempt to exploit a more personal vulnerability. He can exploit only the creature's personal antithesis. His unarmed and weapon Strikes against the creature also become magical if they weren't already.
Critical Failure Ahas becomes flat-footed until the beginning of your next turn.

He hacks her with his mind weapon!

Brocc is having a heck of a time contributing in any meaningful way. He can't even get into a flank with an ally to offset his hindrances. He steps southward a bit to try and gain some leverage with Ahas, and unloads a series of sweeping downward strikes against the skunk.

Is Brocc flanking with Ahas there? I don't recall the flanking rules exactly but I think it's a flank. If it's not, easy enough fix, just ignore the flank penalty to its AC.

Pine winds up and clobbers Aslynn with his morningstar. His second strike separates her head from the rest of her and she dissolves back into shadowstuff.

Brocc falls upon Blue with the force of a mountain. His first strike mashes the creature into paste and ends the fight.

COMBAT OVER

As the skunk falls, the door to the vault crashes open and Zarta Dralneen rushes into the vault along with Society leaders Ambrus Valsin, Eando Kline, Eliza Petulengro, Fola Barun, and Calisro Benarry. They look ready to fight, and they're quite impressed by your handling of the situation.

"What happened here?!" she demands.

While I get Chronicles ready, please describe to the nice Society leaders what just happened here

Nyx walks up to Zarta and says "In a nutshell, Aslynn came back via a shard. She tried to take back some of her stuff that was hidden here. Pine lopped her head off, the rest of us helped. If you want a more verbose explanation, talk to the others. I'll write a report.

With that, Nyx walks off - looking for a chance to enjoy his rat steak, preferably cooked.

The dwarf continues: Don’t look at me like that. I’m not good to talk. And even worse when I am thirsty and we haven’t received any drink since ages.

"We fought against evil witch, whose name is Aslynn, and her minions. She wanted to steal some items from here, but we intervened."

They gather reports from you, Rain and Biglock, then meet back in the vault a few hours later.

Zarta turns the chalice over multiple times, trying to see if she can get any of the magic liquid to appear. When everyone has finally gathered for the debrief, she says, "Well, I'm still not sure what this is, but all your reports are consistent. It's obviously a central piece of Aslynn's plan. In a way, it's a good thing that shard of her mind infiltrated our vaults, as it's allowed us to understand a few things we might have otherwise missed! I wish we could've learned about this without putting your lives in danger, and for that, I apologize. I hope you're ready for more adventures. We've just scratched the surface of the vault's contents, and we need to act fast to learn more about some of these items. One thing is certain: we can't leave everything here and wait around for Aslynn to strike again."

The faction leaders quickly fall into a heated discussion over the best approach to the items—it's clear that they don't see eye to eye, but they all agree that they'll need to work together for the sake of the Society's future! While the Society's leaders argue, Biglock gives you a smug grin. "Nice work. Hey—Zarta is pretty great. She says Mr. Glovely and I don't have to stick around this dusty vault! Don't worry, though. We'll be in touch. I've got a few schemes in mind. When I'm done making arrangements, Mr. Glovely will come calling!"

FIN

Thanks for playing all!
